Feeding three Malamute's in close proximity. One is food aggressive!

Here I feed Linkin in the presence of two other dogs. You can see me using my body to block the path of the dogs using arms and legs. I have to be quick and react in a firm way otherwise these big guys would just charge through. Raise your knee in front of them or use the forearm to get in their way. Walking into them is like charging them, letting them know with your intent that they are too close. You see the dogs back off and sit each time. Linkin charges the food dish twice at one point but I block his head with my arm. Only do this with your dogs if you trust yourself to not get upset or frustrated because you will get bitten if you aren't prepared to stand your ground. I expected more excitement so I could demonstrate how much intensity you might have to deal with, but the dogs behaved pretty well so minor blocking was all I needed to use.
